This box will serve as a good internet gateway and firewall. You can
install samba/squid on it and it will work too, but you need large RAM
to actually put it to some practical use.

This vintage needs PC66 memory. 6 mos. ago I tried on Lam. Rd.; could
not find any in stock. Any one know of a vendor who has them available
(special order ok)?

I've got 2x8 MB 30-pin SIMM modules lying around. Tried to sell them
long-time back but couldn't find a buyer. Would gladly give them away for
free (as in beer) ... if they still work ;-).
I am located in Santa Cruz(E), Mumbai.
Mail me off-line if interested. FCFS - offer open till stock lasts!!!

32MB is fine enough. I used a similar box with Debian for a while. It was a
bit slow but the processor was to be blamed for that. I currently am using
the same config with 128MB ( or is it 64MB? ) RAM and it works like a dream
:). I have great uptimes, stability, low running costs, no heating issues :)
